Hunter

I forged this knife from a semi leaf spring, making the steel 5160. The blade is 6.75", and the integral bolster and elk antler handle give an overall length of 11.75". 

With every single hunting or EDC knife I make, I test the tip. I have a chunk of maple I stab the blade into and then rock it back and forth. If the tip snaps, it gets tossed off to the side. This knife survived. I do this because I believe every hunting knife, even little guys like this one, should be able to pop the pelvic on a deer without having to worry about looking this tip.

You'll do four deer before you start thinking about bringing out the whet stone.

*The cutting edge is sharpened at a 25°.

**This knife comes with a hand tooled 7-8oz leather sheath.
